I think we are forgetting about his record in Holldand - which IIRC comes close to or betters Van Nitselhoof's record when he was playing back home.

We have a chnace of siging a player in a aimsilar mould, who has a rate of scoring at around 3 in every 5 games.

i for one would be exceedingly happy if we singed him.

and here we are - the last 4 seasons

# 02-03 FC Utrecht 34 matches, 20 goals
# 03-04 Feyenoord 34 matches, 20 goals
# 04-05 Feyenoord 34 matches, 29 goals
# 05-06 Feyenoord 33 matches, 22 goals


that's closer to 2 goals in every 3!

I'd love to see him at Liverpool - he's strong and hard-working. Now that we have Bellamy and Fowler (and Crouch and Pongolle of course) we don't necessarily need a 20+ goals a season man.

We do, mate, we do. Unless we get a bad run of injuries/suspensions I can't see Pongo getting more than 10 appearances this season. God is never going to start all games so that leaves us with Bellamy and Crouch. No disrespect to the big man (Crouch, not Bellamy ),but he ain't going to be the first name on the team sheet every game.
Which leaves Bellamy. I think Rafa is going to use him as the main striker and will bring in someone else to play alongside him regularly. Wether that is to be Kuyt or not remains to be seen, but I do think that that is what will be instore for our forwards next season.

I think a lot of people have underestimated the impact Bellamy will have this year. He improved Newcastle's play tenfold and his arrival at Blackburn secured them a European place.

If you search RAWK you'll see the opinion of the Geordie lad who runs one of their fanzines and he pretty much says the same thing.

The forum or their news pages? In fact, any chance of a link mate? I'm sure you won't get banned for it

Yeah they are impressive stats, but you've got to remember it's only the Dutch league.

And I know someone will eventually use the "He could be another Kezman" argument. If you look at the stats of the striker who burned up the Dutch League like Ronaldo, RVN, Ibrahimovic etc etc they all scored at a rate consistent with what they did in the Dutch League when they got transferred to a more difficult league. There goals to game rate did drop a bit, but not an awful lot.

According to BBC's gossip page today, Kuyt's agent says we lead the chase to sign him. However inevitably he goes on to say that we face strong opposition from other English and Spanish clubs

[Red_Al_77]

He's gonna sign. Too much talk in the press for it to be anything else.

Liverpool head race to sign Kuyt



Liverpool are leading the chase to sign Feyenoord's Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt, according to his agent Rob Jansen

Jansen told BBC Sport that it was "no secret" that the Reds were eager to sign the 25-year-old - but warned they face stiff competition.

"There are some clubs interested in England and in Spain," Jansen confirmed

Earlier this summer Kuyt said he would be keen on a move to Newcastle, while Tottenham, Everton and Arsenal have all been heavily linked with the frontman.

Jansen said he expected Kuyt to leave Holland before the start of the new season and hinted that England was his favoured destination.

"He has a special feeling for the Premier League," Jansen said. "But there are some major clubs playing on a world level in Spain too."

Kuyt was a part of the Dutch World Cup squad which lost in the second round to Portugal.

He started the tournament on the bench but broke into the side at the expense of Manchester United's Ruud van Nistelrooy.

I'm with Red Al, I reckon that he will be signing, hopefully with Dudek and Kromkamp going in the other direction to lower the fee and the overall wages at the club.

It would then give us 4 genuinely different types of Striker at the club. Bellamy, Fowler, Crouch and Kuyt.

It would also surely signal the end for Pongolle. Maybe he could be part of the deal too?
